[QUOTE="Friedrich Rubinstein, post: 77013846, member: 429947"] Feelings aren't always good. Why would you lie to your child about the origin of the presents? When you make your child believe that "Santa Claus" or "Father Christmas" are real, and one day your child finds out that it isn't true, why do you think your child will still believe that [I]God [/I]is real? I think as Christian parents we are responsible to raise our children in the truth. By the way, children don't need these kinds of stories to enjoy Christmas. I was always looking forward to it. Not only was I grateful towards my parents for the presents (which is much better than thinking that you got them from some stranger), but I also understood that [I]Christ [/I]is the center of the holidays, not the presents (nor some mythological creature). That's what I meant by "I never understood the logic". There doesn't seem to be any good argument for a Christian parent to tell their children such stories. Quite the opposite. [/QUOTE]
